Bacteria
the bacterial uv toggle

In the beginning, there was a UV Toggle (Kobayashi/Collins, 2004).

The 2010 MIT iGEM team saw that it was good, and decided to implement the Collins toggle in E.coli to create cells with bistable phenotypes. We planned for the toggle to create patterned fluorescence and phage polymerization in response to exposing the cells to UV light.
